Actually this is not hard to follow if you add the St Clair's into the picture. General Arthur St Clair's daughter Louisa was involved with Chief Joseph Brant. Later she married Caption John Lawrence. Chief Joseph Brant then married George Croghan's daughter. Sir William Johnson married Chief Joseph Brant's sister. George Croghan was a nephew of Sir William Johnson.

Add on top of that Col John Gibson the commander of Ft Pitt was married to Chief John Logan's sister. Col John Gibson was very close friends with Lord Dunmore and Col Morgan Morgan son Zackquill Morgan who was the founder of Morgantown.

Once you get these connections, you can just about follow everyone including Morgan Bryan the grandfather to Rebecca Bryan. Rebecca Bryan was the wife of Daniel Boone. This group also includes Caption Morgan appointed by Oliver Cromwell as a Sea Caption to capture Spanish Gold.
